Yes, the overall car was prepared for the record run. The engine was pulled from the assembly line for a cosmetic reason as the story goes. Given that the throttle was restricted to 70 to 75% from wide open and the Z was running much of the time in the low 180s it seems they might have super tuned it



I'd say it was a very "purpose built/assembled" car - production is a "stretch"!
Exhaust work for sure. Beyond the oil coolers, fuel cell and other mods required for the run I would be quessing.
